DAILY SLOGAN/SAYING It helps to learn the difference between being responsible to others and being responsible for others.
- Heard in a meeting
DAILY REFLECTION Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
We carry problems and discrepancies within us, quandaries that are not easily answered, and we have bigger questions about life and the world. Why did I act as I did in my younger years? Can my life partnership be happy again? How should I handle a secret that I carry? What is this thing we call Higher Power and God?
We are on a journey, and in some ways, this journey is a quest for answers. The questions give energy and direction to our seeking. We cannot expect to get quick or easy answers. And some questions will always remain just that: questions. But we can learn to be patient with ourselves, tolerant of our incompleteness, and always curious about how it will all turn out.
Today I will practice patience with myself and embrace my unsolved questions as crucial elements in my quest.
